About this app

ScamZero is your AI-powered scam checker and fraud detector. Instantly verify if a text message, link, email, or phone number is a scam — before you click, call, or reply. Today's scam texts use AI to look like real customer-service alerts; ScamZero's AI helps you see through them in seconds.

Bank impersonation is the #1 reported text scam in the US, and Americans lose hundreds of millions to scam texts every year. ScamZero analyzes what you paste and gives you a clear verdict: safe, suspicious, or confirmed scam.

WHAT SCAMZERO VERIFIES

- Text messages & SMS: paste any suspicious message for an instant AI fraud analysis
- Links & URLs: check if a website is phishing, fake, or malicious before you open it
- Emails: detect spoofed senders, phishing attempts, and fraudulent messages
- Phone numbers: find out if a number is flagged as scam, spam, or telemarketing

HOW IT WORKS

1. Copy and paste the suspicious content — a message, link, email, or phone number
2. ScamZero's AI runs a deep analysis in seconds
3. Get a clear verdict with an explanation: safe, suspicious, or scam

No technical knowledge needed. Just paste and check.

STAY SAFE FROM EVOLVING FRAUD

Fraudsters change tactics constantly and now use AI to sound legitimate. Whether it's a fake USPS delivery text, a Chase or Bank of America impersonation, an unpaid-toll message, an IRS threat, or an unknown caller — ScamZero helps you verify the truth before it's too late.

Paste it. Check it. Stay safe.

Link Protection (Android)

ScamZero includes an optional Link Protection feature that detects phishing sites in your browser in real time. To do this, ScamZero uses the Android AccessibilityService API: it reads the web address (URL) of the pages you open in your browser to compare it against a list of known fraudulent sites and warn you before you hand your data to a scam. ScamZero only checks the site's address; it does not read page content, does not store your browsing history, and does not share your activity. This feature is optional: you turn it on from Settings and it requires your consent.
